Thanks for the chapter!! And I think you're missing a "t" in the title. Should be "Better bend than break"

I edited it but the change hasn't shown up yet, maybe it takes a while, but TY

How old is Adolf to call Dresden a small village? It was a small village in the 6th century AD. A town already by early 1200s...

It's nice to see Elias making some more 'friends'. He's such an interesting entity, I hope we learn some more about him, his powers, origins, and encounters.

Getting pretty sick of 'is that an order' girl. can't even be assed to remember her name. She's not contributing anything particularly interesting or enjoyable to the story.

@TheGrandMagus
From what I can tell, his age hasn't been specified yet. He's been around a few hundred years, but I think part of that may have been in areas of different time flow, like with Linden and Elias' master. Very possible that he went to study under someone and when he came back, a ton of time had passed without him being part of it.

[ElBichoRaro]

I miss the episodic shenanigans... And all the little familiars, like that lovely salamander ;_;

 

[kuma]

they build something really big.

 

[Tarage]

I have lost track of who all these people are.

 

[ManularChimera]

I have trouble telling if some of the characters are male or female.

 

[Neterian]

@Tarage you're not the only one, I'll have to re-read all this arc just to try and remember who all these kids are

 

[GruntZone360]

<3 <3 <3 Thank you :3

 

[AgentKuga]

i agree with all the previous comments
am also racking my head over all the info in this chapter
thank you for chapter

 

[Xitel]

@TheGrandMagus maybe he means it was a small village in/near the city of Dresden? I agree that it's never been a particularly small town.

Not a big fan of where the story has gone since the entry into the college. The series always had infodumps which didn't bother me due to the sense of mysticism and wonder but lately that has felt lost with all these new uninteresting characters locked in this school setting. I have a feeling we aren't leaving it anytime soon either.

Regardless of my qualms with it's direction, thanks for the chapter. 😘

 

[Lhmac]

A lot of random stuff happened in that chapter. I don't think it knew which direction it wanted to take.

 

[Deathhappens]

I'm not opposed to the school setting, per se, but for a monthly manga introducing new characters and new plotlines foreshadowed by the most cryptic of ways every damn chapter is not the brightest idea.

Why do so many people keep saying this manga lost direction when for 90% of the story it never had a direction and when it final got one for a short time the people on this site particularly seemed to hate it having said direction.

It's kind of interesting to always see the differences between mages and wizards. Mages are literally taught to never lie under any circumstances while the wizards whole society is built on the back of lies and half truths
